One of my friends uses "sandwich" paper - the kind they use for wrapping burgers - for her paper piecing. She staples a bunch of them together, with a regular paper pattern on top, then runs the stack thru' her machine with no thread, and 'sews' on all the stitching lines. Voila! A set of light-weight paper piecing papers, pre-perforated, easy to tear off when you're done.

Just another option....

I wish you lived next door to me. I could show you how in about twenty minutes. My instructions seem to leave a little bit to be desired.

Maybe you can find an article on paper piecing and take it from there?
